A different director [entertainment circle]
Work related
Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian have been asking Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian to record their usual expression changes with a DV camera, and then watch it by themselves, so as to know what angle can capture the image they need.
In order to train the DV camera sense, the two of them never had a day without sore hands. It is conceivable how exaggerated their daily shooting time is.
Fortunately, the memory card of the DV camcorder can be cleared and written repeatedly.If it was really a film camera, even Qin Yan would go bankrupt on the spot.
In addition to training the sense of camera, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian did not know how many times they rehearsed for the first scene in private.
In just one or two minutes, the ins and outs of the whole incident, the relationship between Zhu Yufei and Li Zian, and the direction of the following story were all explained clearly.
As one of the only two characters, Zhu Yufei's mood changes are quite intense. In the performance just now, there was no mistake in a single line, nor any emotional deviation.
Although Xi Qianqian's acting skills are a little deliberate in Qin Yan's opinion, it is after all Qin Yan's standard, and it is really outstanding at this age.
What's more important is Xi Qianqian's acting attitude.
Xi Qianqian doesn't want to show her soft and gentle side, because the more successful this image is, the deeper people's inherent impression of her will be.
But in front of the camera and when the director needs it, Xi Qianqian can show her fragility without any reservations.
It was Xie Beiyang's performance that really surprised Qin Yan.
What Qin Yan said here is "performance" rather than "acting skills".Because for Xie Beiyang, he does not yet have professional acting skills, but this does not prevent him from being able to play his role "Li Zian" well.
In order to get the best presentation of the whole script, when Qin Yan created "Li Zian", he completely used Xie Beiyang's image and characteristics as a template, which greatly reduced the complexity of the role of "Li Zian".
For example, when Zhu Yufei was in pain, hesitation, apprehension, and fear just now, Li Zian didn't feel the slightest bit of empathy.
In real life, Xie Beiyang is a very careful person, and he is also able to feel and take care of other people's emotions.Usually, if someone is unsatisfactory at work or encounters any difficulties, Xie Beiyang can always find out immediately and offer to help.
Xie Beiyang has a natural sensitivity to human emotions, and he is now using this sensitivity to reproduce the various emotions he has experienced.
Rather than saying that Xie Beiyang is performing, it is better to say that he is imitating.It's just that the object of imitation is the self in a certain situation.
If Xie Beiyang can turn these sensitivities into skills through systematic learning, it can be called acting.
Qin Yan did not force Xie Beiyang to master these skills now, he would tell Xie Beiyang what kind of emotions he should show in each scene.
For example, Qin Yan told Xie Beiyang just now that he only needs to show his sunny and cheerful side in his daily life.
Although there is a certain difference in the core of pure "happy" and "careful", the difference in facial features is not so obvious, at least under the DV camera screen, this difference can be completely ignored.
The author has something to say: there will be an explanation behind the plot of "Ancient House", and I hope everyone can accept it.In my outline, "The Old House" should be the film with the least plot, but that's what the plot needs.
At least when you are watching, you shouldn't be too scared.So I am very afraid of disappointing you. QQ

For the expression of each emotion, there is actually a certain degree of difficulty without professional training.
Everyone in life can express emotions normally, such as emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, and everything happens very naturally and smoothly.
But when a person wants to deliberately express a certain emotion, it becomes very difficult, otherwise there would not be so many fake smiles and fake crying being exposed.
If you don't believe me, you can try crying or laughing in front of the mirror to see if there is any sense of disobedience.
For an expressionist actor, acting is to master and learn the physical response of every emotion, and consciously control one's body to express it when needed.
It stands to reason that for a new actor, letting him enter the role and respond accordingly from the character's personality and experience is the most common way to guide him.But this also did not apply to Xie Beiyang.
This is related to the script of "Ancient House". The characters in "Ancient House" only have personality characteristics, and there is no behavioral development brought about by the plot. Even if you want to bring in the characters, it is almost impossible to make every move according to the characters.
Qin Yan could only find another way and let Xie Beiyang restore a certain specific emotion.
Qin Yanqin only needs to tell Xie Beiyang to act out a reaction in a certain life scene. As long as Xie Beiyang himself has had similar emotions, he can easily reproduce them.
No wonder Xi Qianqian had such a strange expression when asked about Xie Beiyang's study progress.
It takes not just emotional sensitivity, but also a strong memory to do this.Xie Beiyang is indeed a genius.
Now Qin Yan's eyes on Xie Beiyang have changed a little bit. Before, he just thought that Xie Beiyang's face was too plastic, but now it seems that Xie Beiyang is really talented in acting.
Maybe I can train him well in the future, if Xie Beiyang is really interested in movies.Qin Yan thought silently.
In fact, this is also one of the techniques commonly used by actors. For example, when many actors are acting in crying scenes, they will recall their tragic experiences, thus showing painful expressions and crying quickly.
However, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang cooperated more tacitly.Qin Yan can create a more specific situation, for example, Qin Yan would say "It's the first time you climbed the Great Wall and looked at the mountains", instead of simply "happy".
This makes Xie Beiyang's emotional imitation more accurate and fits the requirements of "Ancient House".
Of course, this doesn't mean that Xie Beiyang doesn't have any shortcomings. In fact, he has many common problems of new performers.
For example, I don't have enough grasp of the lens sense, and I don't know what angle can make my facial features more photogenic, and what kind of light is softer.
Another example is paying too much attention to the lens.No matter when, as long as there is a camera, I will be a little nervous, and occasionally I will look at the camera unconsciously.
In the previous scene when Li Zian was talking to Zhu Yufei, Li Zian sneaked away from the DV camera several times.
It is definitely a taboo in normal movie performances. Such an action can make people immediately feel that the character is actually performing, and instantly cut off the connection between the audience and the character.
New actors always subconsciously think about how they will behave in front of the camera, whether they exceed the frame of the camera, whether their expressions and emotions are in place...
But this is also subtly resolved by the shooting mode of "Ancient House".
Although it is said that DV is a kind of daily video camera for home use, in fact, people will subconsciously chase the camera during use.
We can see a lot of DV shooting works, people are talking to the camera.When watching DV video works, the audience will have a feeling that "the people in the picture are staring at the camera all the time".
Because when using dv to record life every day, everyone is talking to the camera, and this is a person's real reaction.If the dv lens is completely ignored, that is the violation.
These low-level mistakes that are absolutely intolerable in film movies will make the audience sigh "Oh, so they are really recording their lives with DV".
As an actor, Xie Beiyang is still young.But in "Ancient House", Qin Yan no longer had to deliberately correct Xie Beiyang, and even turned this disadvantage into an advantage.
Although the first act was completed in one go, it doesn't mean that "Ancient House" should not think that the shooting work is easy.
The biggest difficulty Qin Yan and the others faced was that they were students, and they usually had to attend classes during the day, so they couldn't stay on the set like a professional crew and shoot continuously.
Filmmaking is inherently about emotional investment and coherence.Two days of filming and five days of rest, even Qin Yan couldn't guarantee the continuity of the film.But it happens that their most concentrated and free time is only on weekends.
So Qin Yan asked everyone to come to the courtyard for filming after class every day, as long as there was nothing else to do, and to spend the night in the courtyard, and then go back to class the next day, so that everyone could maintain a working state.
Although Qin Yan was responsible for all the taxi fares, and the courtyard house could meet daily needs, it was still a tormenting thing.
There is no heating in this courtyard house, and no one lives in it for a long time, so they have to burn the kang by themselves.Although Xie Beiyang and Liu Zhengwen are both from the north, they really don't know this skill, so the four boys can only fumble to unlock it.
Washing and eating are also troublesome.The renovation of water pipes in courtyard houses is not satisfactory, and water pipes often freeze.
Xi Qianqian had to sleep alone in a room.Even with such a strong heart as Xi Qianqian, she would still feel so scared that she would lose sleep all night.
But no one complains, because no one treats filmmaking as a game.
Fortunately, the story of "Ancient House" is limited to the courtyard, basically there is no location shooting, and there is no need to travel around, which reduces a lot of workload.
When Qin Yan was making preparations, he had already drawn a storyboard for each scene.Each storyboard has the position of the character, the direction of the light source, and the general background behind it.
Storyboards are very common, but few directors are as detailed as Qin Yan, and each scene is drawn.
First of all, drawing is too energy-intensive. Even if the storyboard is only scribbled, it will take at least ten minutes for each page.This hundred-page storyboard took him dozens of hours.
Secondly, the storyboard is only an ideal situation that cannot be met.Once you start shooting, there will be many unexpected changes.
For example, if you want to take a strong light picture of a clear sky, but due to weather problems, the entire light is insufficient, and you need to modify it immediately.
Fortunately, "Ancient House" can greatly avoid these problems, because most of the scenes take place in courtyards.
During the half month before Qin Yan created the script and the storyboard, he lived alone in the courtyard, from morning to night, with constant wind and rain.He already has a clear understanding of every setting and every reflection of light in the courtyard.
It was this kind of understanding that allowed Qin Yan to complete the storyboard of "Ancient House".
Many people have no way to accept and understand Qin Yan's perfectionism.It's no wonder that the actors and workers who have worked with Qin Yan secretly nicknamed Qin Yan "the killer on the set".
In the past, Qin Yan's detailed storyboards could not be well executed. This is related to the grand scenes of previous movies, and also related to the lack of right-hand assistants.
And "Ancient House" made all this possible because of the existence of Liu Zhengwen.Liu Zhengwen has been standing outside the lens to fill in or block the light, treating the DV camera as a film.
Although Liu Zhengwen is just a student, and he is always duplicity, but in working condition, Liu Zhengwen is a perfectionist who can compete with Qin Yan, and only Liu Zhengwen can quickly Understand Qin Yan's thoughts and needs.
If there is any slight change in the shooting time, Liu Zhengwen can immediately make corresponding adjustments according to the changes in the entire natural light source.
Qin Yan only used to control the emotional changes and performances of Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, and left all the lighting matters to Liu Zhengwen, which greatly relieved Qin Yan's work pressure.
Qin Yan said to Liu Zhengwen at the beginning: "Only you are qualified for this job, and only you can help me", this sentence was not a compliment at all.
Although the benefits of so many dv cameras have been said before, it is definitely not to say that dv is an absolutely perfect camera.If Qin Yan had to choose, he would definitely choose the photo camera.
After all, in terms of picture effects and scalability, the performance of DV cameras is really poor.
Sometimes Qin Yan looks at the slightly blurred pictures taken by the DV camera and wants to re-shoot, which is really inconsistent with his usual aesthetic standards.
With no way to change the camera equipment, Qin Yan could only make up for the picture through other means.
If you can’t adjust the sharpness, change the focal length, or even change the depth of field, then there are only two things that can make a decisive contribution to the picture, one is the space composition of the picture, and the other is the use of light.
Don't look at Liu Zhengwen just holding the light shield there, in fact, more work has been done silently where no one sees.
Ren Yue, on the other hand, was holding the radio equipment, and had been listening to Li Zian and Zhu Yufei.
Although the DV camera also has a built-in radio function, the final effect will be somewhat blurred, which cannot meet Qin Yan's requirements.
Ren Yue is doing physical work now, and his brain has not stopped at all.
He threw himself into the mood of the whole story, thinking about when to insert what sound effects.Although his work is done after the shooting, if he wants to be perfect, he must capture all the inspirations in the whole shooting process.
Although this six-member team has only been established recently, it has already demonstrated super high efficiency at this time.
The completion of any film, other than high-profile actors, more work is simply unknown.
Making movies has never been a great career for one person.
026 challenge
At this time, the sky in the east is faint, and the sky in late autumn is particularly bright, and there is an urge to open your eyes and fix your canthus.Standing in the courtyard, Qin Yan wanted to take pictures of this autumn scene. He knew that the sky in Pingcheng would become darker and darker in the future, with light pollution and smog filling the sky.
It's a pity that all his camera equipment is at home, Qin Yan had an idea.He picked up the DV camera and no longer considered various shooting performances. Even if it was blurry, he wanted to keep this piece of Tianankong. Perhaps this is the charm of photography.
"Sister Qianqian, are they all gone?"
Qin Yan turned his head and looked at the source of the sound, and the dv camera moved accordingly.A teenager appeared in the picture, wearing a lake blue turtleneck sweater, waving at him.
In 2000, the Koryo TV series "Blue Life and Death" was introduced to Huaguo, triggering a wave of obsessions ranging from eight years old to 80 years old, and also had a great impact on Huaguo entertainment.
The most intuitive impact is that countless Goryeo-style dresses have appeared in China, such as the matching of turtleneck sweaters and trench coats.It's a pity that many people have an inexplicable greasy feeling when they wear it.But at this time, wearing it on Xie Beiyang's body is extraordinarily refreshing, a young man in fresh clothes and an angry horse.
Even if it's just a DV camera, Xie Beiyang is still so eye-catching, Qin Yan couldn't help sighing: It really is a child favored by the camera.
Qin Yan put away the dv, then nodded to Xie Beiyang and said, "I gave them a day off and let them play by themselves."
Xie Beiyang was ashamed: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me."
Because of the excellent performance of the four people, the shooting progress of "Ancient House" was faster than Qin Yan expected.
Now that the plot has progressed to Li Yufei and Li Zian, through the footage captured by the DV camera, it was discovered that after the two of them fell asleep at night, it seemed that someone was indeed moving around in the room, scattering their things all over the place.
This discovery scared the two of them badly, and they decided to leave the courtyard early the next morning, never wanting to set foot in this place again.
But who knew that the two of them completely forgot what happened last night during the day, and then went out to play happily, and didn't come back until evening.
After Li Zian and Li Yufei came back at night, because they recorded a lot of scenic spots in Pingcheng today, they took out the dv camera again, wanting to review the pictures of their play today.
Only then did the two see everything captured by the DV camera last night.
Until this moment, the two felt real fear.They found that they would encounter some unknown phenomena in the courtyard every night, but when they got up early in the morning, they would forget all the experiences at night.
The two could only start a self-help operation.
What follows is the scariest part of the entire film, Li Zian and Li Yufei's exploration of the entire courtyard.
The mood of the two has changed significantly.Li Yufei only showed her introverted fear, and then gradually became firm, while Li Zian completely changed from a sunny and fearless boy to a coward dominated by fear.
"Fear" is not very difficult for Xi Qianqian, because she has systematically learned how to show fear, and she is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and now she is completely digging herself.
But Xie Beiyang, who had been playing well before, encountered a dilemma at this time, because he couldn't show the emotion of terror.
Xie Beiyang mentioned before has not received systematic study. His acting method is actually to reawaken a certain emotion he once experienced for shooting.
The whole performance process is actually a kind of replay and invocation of Xie Beiyang's own life experience.
But the problem is that in Xie Beiyang's memory, there is no particularly terrifying experience.He seems to have been born braver since he was a child, and his understanding of the world is far more mature than his peers.Not afraid of ghosts, not afraid of loneliness, not afraid of poverty...
The usual advantages, but at this moment limit Xie Beiyang's performance.
In recent scenes, Xie Beiyang has been particularly stiff in front of the camera.Although it can be seen that Xie Beiyang has already tried his best to imitate the expressions of some well-known actors about the horror emotions.
Xie Beiyang is indeed making progress, but the speed of progress is far behind the progress of filming.
In the past few days, the shooting progress of "Ancient House" has basically stopped, and Xie Beiyang in real life has also fallen into a mood of anxiety and self-blame.
Of course, Xie Beiyang's anxiety was also related to Qin Yan.Don't look at the close communication between Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang, but during the filming process, if Xie Beiyang did anything wrong, Qin Yan would point it out mercilessly.
He was not targeting Xie Beiyang, including Xi Qianqian's performance and the work of Liu Zhengwen and Ren Yue, Qin Yan was the same.
Qin Yan didn't even need a director's tube, so he just mercilessly trained people on the spot.Xie Beiyang, who was making a movie for the first time, had never seen this kind of posture before, and he didn't dare to face Qin Yan squarely for a few days.
Perfectionists who are too critical can be annoying at times.
Qin Yan was not really angry with Xie Beiyang, and he also knew that it was actually his responsibility.
It was he who asked Xie Beiyang, an amateur with no acting experience, to participate in his film project, and Xie Beiyang also helped "The Ancient House" in many places.
Now because of his strict requirements, Xie Beiyang fell into a nervous mood, and Qin Yan blamed himself very much for this.
It's just that the personality that has been cultivated for decades, and the one-sided personality on the set cannot be changed in a short time.
Fortunately, this is not the first time that Qin Yan has experienced anxiety caused by an actor not being able to meet his requirements. Normally, he would let the actor grow and digest by himself, but Xie Beiyang is special to Qin Yan after all.
So after yesterday's filming was completed, Qin Yan announced a one-day holiday and asked Xi Qianqian and the others to adjust themselves. Then Qin Yan said to Xie Beiyang:
"Xiao Bei, I have a way to help you get into the state as soon as possible, but my method may be a little violent, can you accept it?"
Xie Beiyang did not hesitate: "I can accept whatever you have."
Qin Yan did not directly tell Xie Beiyang his plan, but first explained to him:
"You can't master the method of expressionism through systematic study in a short period of time. All I can do now is to let you understand the "horror" emotion as soon as possible. Come with me tomorrow."
Therefore, today will be a day when Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan are alone.
Qin Yan had already contacted the driver, and Xie Beiyang didn't know the final destination until he got off the car.
Xie Beiyang didn't ask any questions, but Qin Yan couldn't hold back anymore, and joked: "You don't ask me where I want to take you, so you are not afraid that I will kidnap you?"
Xie Beiyang shook his head: "I know the way."
The two looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and the dark clouds of the previous two days dissipated in an instant.
It's a pity that happiness is short-lived after all. After seeing the destination, Xie Beiyang was stunned. He didn't expect that Qin Yan would bring him to such a place, and even his footsteps were a little vain.
Seeing Xie Beiyang's performance, Qin Yan knew it was really effective. He was afraid that Xie Beiyang would run away, so he took Xie Beiyang's hand and walked forward: "Let's go, don't hesitate. I can definitely make you feel the emotion of fear." .”
Xie Beiyang already felt fear when he saw the words "Shidu bungee jumping", but it was far from meeting Qin Yan's requirements. At least now Xie Beiyang can still maintain a normal expression. He pulled Xie Beiyang forward go.
Bungee jumping is the special training that Qin Yan prepared for Xie Beiyang today.
Human beings have longed for the sky since birth, but the fear of the sky also exists in the genes of human beings.
Many people are very brave in their daily lives. Once they look down from a high place, their bodies will tremble involuntarily.
In fact, this is an instinct preserved by human beings through natural selection during the long evolution.For example, on the glass plank road, even if the reason tells oneself that there is no danger, it still cannot control the limp and stiffness of the body.
Another example is the current Xie Beiyang. Although his reason tells him that bungee jumping is actually a very safe sport, his legs are as tight as tree stumps.
Before going out, Qin Yan confirmed with Xie Beiyang that all actions today are under his own arrangement, so Qin Yan dragged Xie Beiyang to buy the tickets without hesitation, and walked all the way to the bungee jumping platform.
Shidu Bungee Jumping is the earliest bungee jumping place in Huaguo. It has only been open for three years now, and bungee jumping is far less popular than later generations.There are very few tourists even on weekends, but even the sporadic tourists can make screams resounding from the top of the mountain.
Crying like complaining, ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Xie Beiyang finally adjusted his psychological construction, and was completely penetrated by the screams like a tsunami in an instant.The whole face was dyed blue and white.
Qin Yan's expression didn't change at all. There were many people who cried miserably in front of him before, and Qin Yan never made an exception for anyone.
While putting on safety equipment for Xie Beiyang, the staff persuaded him, "Relax, don't be nervous." Now Xie Beiyang's body is quite stiff, like a puppet.
Qin Yan held Xie Beiyang's hand and said: "You also know your problem, that is, you don't know much about the emotion of fear. I brought you to bungee jumping because I hope you can perceive the process of fear and your body. Reaction."
Qin Yan's voice was very gentle, instead of comforting, he asked Xie Beiyang to remember the fear at this moment.
He had great trust in Xie Beiyang's comprehension and memory, otherwise Xie Beiyang would not have been admitted to Pingcheng University.
It's asking, not trying.
"Try to remember your current state as much as possible, and don't forget what the purpose of our coming today is. If you can't remember your current emotions, then next time I will take you to a more terrifying place."
Xie Beiyang gritted his teeth and nodded. He forced himself to calm down and remember the reactions of his five sense organs and body.
Qin Yan felt that his hand was tightly grasped by Xie Beiyang, and he felt a little chilly. Qin Yan lowered his head and took a look.Xie Beiyang's hand, which had distinct finger bones, was a little pale at this moment, showing a sense of morbid fragility.
Xie Beiyang sighed in his heart, there is no way, fear is an emotion that no one is willing to face, but it is the fastest and most effective way for Xie Beiyang to master the performance of "fear" in a short time way out.
027 bungee jumping
No one can understand Xie Beiyang's fear.
People always say if there is something to be afraid of, face it and get over it.For sports like bungee jumping, if you are really scared, just close your eyes and jump and you're done.
But in fact, fear is a human instinct, and it cannot be overcome simply by relying on reason.
Even for people who are extremely afraid of heights, their bodies will experience stress reactions at heights. In history, there have been many cases of cardiac arrest due to bungee jumping.
Although Xie Beiyang is not the kind of extreme fear of heights, he has never experienced extreme sports, and he keeps swallowing his saliva and his breathing becomes short of breath.
If it were someone else who encouraged Xie Beiyang from the sidelines, saying "Come on, don't be afraid!", "Just close your eyes and jump and it's over" encouragement, Xie Beiyang might have done the bungee jumping in one go.
Even the staff on the side were saying: "You two guys, can you hurry up? You see that other girls dare to dance, but you dare not. You are men, you must be brave."
Qin Yan directly interrupted the staff's encouragement: "If you have anything to do, go and do it first. We'll find you after we adjust our mood."
The staff didn't understand, so they glanced at Qin Yan and thought that this person is really strange.It took so long to skip a level, don't you know that the longer the time, the more tormented it will be?
What he didn't know was that Qin Yan needed to prolong the whole experience of fear as much as possible.Only in this way can Xie Beiyang deeply remember the emotion of fear in his mind.
What is the ultimate fear, that is, standing in front of fear, unable to move, unable to resist, powerless, and can only watch the fear approaching oneself step by step.
Xie Beiyang standing on the platform was staring at instinctive fear, and the screaming and crying of other tourists continued to add to the atmosphere.
Although such an approach was cruel, Qin Yan still stood aside and watched.
Even Xie Beiyang mustered up his courage several times, and when he was about to go directly to the platform, he was stopped by Qin Yan, asking him to continue to remember his current emotions.
Today is Sunday, although bungee jumping has just appeared in China, not many people know about it.But after all, Pingcheng is the largest city in China, and many people still come to experience bungee jumping.
When they jumped down, the screams they released were enough to penetrate everything, horrific, and resounded through the valley.
Xie Beiyang finally calmed down, but was completely disturbed by these screams.
Human emotions are really contagious, at least the emotion of fear is.
Just when Xie Beiyang was trying to fight against his inner fear and remember it, Qin Yan was still explaining his understanding of human emotions:
"Look at the couple who went bungee jumping just now. The boy wasn't that scared at first, but because the girl started screaming, her emotions were instantly affected, and then he himself became scared."
"Remember this, maybe you weren't that afraid of the weirdness in the courtyard, but because of Li Yufei's existence, your emotions will collapse in an instant."
"And you are looking at another boy next to him. He looks mighty, right, but he barks louder than anyone else. Fear has nothing to do with gender or age."
"By the way, you should also pay attention to the expressions of these people. Although they have different expressions and reactions, they are actually in extreme fear. Look at the changes in their facial features."
"If you're going to be a professional actor, you have to learn to observe life."
Xie Beiyang is very smart, with the characteristics of Qin Yan telling him the terrifying emotions, he quickly internalized the emotions into memories and stored them in his mind.
He began to try to control his facial features, no longer forcibly hiding his fear, but showing it to make others feel the same.
Qin Yan has been observing the changes on Xie Beiyang's face, and sighed in his heart when he saw this scene: Sure enough, some people should be born to eat this bowl of rice.
Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang had stood in front of the bungee jumping hall for too long, the staff couldn't bear it anymore and walked up to them and said:
"Do you still want to bungee jump? It's not a solution for you to stand here all the time. Why should a big man be afraid of such a thing? Jump quickly."
Xie Beiyang took a deep breath, he felt that he had sorted out his emotions.Since you are here today, you should still experience the fear of falling.
Just when Xie Beiyang took a step forward, Qin Yan suddenly grabbed Xie Beiyang's hand and said:
"No need to jump."
Xie Beiyang looked at Qin Yan with some doubts.
Qin Yan was very calm. He said directly: "I brought you here today just to let you feel the emotion of fear. I don't necessarily want you to overcome it."
"There is a reason for fear. People don't have to force to overcome fear. Respecting and understanding fear is also a way to get along with each other."
Although Qin Yan had been urging Xie Beiyang just now, and told him that no matter what, he must bungee jump today, so that he had completed today's special training.But in fact Qin Yan never thought of forcing Xie Beiyang to jump from the very beginning.
Without affecting the filming, Qin Yan is willing to respect Xie Beiyang's own feelings.
But Xie Beiyang suddenly fell silent in his heart, without saying a word.
Anyway, today's goal has been achieved, and the rest will be private time, Qin Yan is not going to wonder what Xie Beiyang is thinking.
He said to the staff on the side: "Please check the equipment for me again."
In his previous life, Qin Yan was obsessed with extreme sports, including skydiving, surfing, racing and so on.
In fact, people's senses are often trained, and they live in a good environment for a long time without worrying about food and clothing.Only more exciting exercise can make the body secrete exciting adrenaline.
For Qin Yan, bungee jumping is really just an entry-level sport.
He originally thought that he would no longer have any sense of fear when he played bungee jumping.But when he stood in front of the take-off platform and stared at the valley hundreds of meters below, his body trembled slightly.
At this time, what Qin Yan was thinking in his heart was:
Human emotions are indeed related to body memory.My current body has never played extreme sports before, and a little stimulation makes my body shake like this.
I don’t know if there are related psychological research papers, probably related to stress and habit. If there are, can they be used in future filming?
Thinking about these academic problems, Qin Yan's body gradually calmed down.He took a leap and began to enjoy the vertigo caused by the rapid weightlessness.
Today is Qin Yan's special training class for Xie Beiyang, but he also did not relax his request, and there will be a few more pages of material in his notebook when he goes back tonight.
When Qin Yan finished bungee jumping and returned to the high platform, he was still thinking about these questions.
Who knew that Xie Beiyang walked up to him at this time and said, "If you brought Sister Qianqian to experience fear today, would you ask her to jump off?"
From the perspective of others, Xie Beiyang's question is actually quite random, why did he suddenly mention Xi Qianqian.But Qin Yan secretly praised Xie Beiyang in his heart, saying "he is really sensitive to people's emotions".
Because Xie Beiyang had seen Xi Qianqian being scolded by Qin Yan until he said nothing, and Qin Yan seemed to be extra tolerant towards him.
Since Xie Beiyang asked this question on his own initiative, Qin Yan would not lie, he said, "Qianqian is an actor."
The same nonsensical answer, but Xie Beiyang immediately understood Qin Yan's implication——
"Xi Qianqian takes acting as her goal and career, so my requirements for her will be stricter."
Although Qin Yan had a very high opinion of Xie Beiyang, after all, he was only an amateur with acting talent, and it was hard to say whether he would really embark on the road of acting in the future.
Qin Yan does respect everyone's fear, which is the freedom of a human being.But "being an actor" is also an option.
If you choose to make a living from acting, you must bear the corresponding price, playing roles you don't like, accepting public criticism, and hard professional training.
In order to train the DV camera sense, the two of them never had a day without sore hands. It is conceivable how exaggerated their daily shooting time is.
Fortunately, the memory card of the DV camcorder can be cleared and written repeatedly.If it was really a film camera, even Qin Yan would go bankrupt on the spot.
In addition to training the sense of camera, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian did not know how many times they rehearsed for the first scene in private.
In just one or two minutes, the ins and outs of the whole incident, the relationship between Zhu Yufei and Li Zian, and the direction of the following story were all explained clearly.
As one of the only two characters, Zhu Yufei's mood changes are quite intense. In the performance just now, there was no mistake in a single line, nor any emotional deviation.
Although Xi Qianqian's acting skills are a little deliberate in Qin Yan's opinion, it is after all Qin Yan's standard, and it is really outstanding at this age.
What's more important is Xi Qianqian's acting attitude.
Xi Qianqian doesn't want to show her soft and gentle side, because the more successful this image is, the deeper people's inherent impression of her will be.
But in front of the camera and when the director needs it, Xi Qianqian can show her fragility without any reservations.
It was Xie Beiyang's performance that really surprised Qin Yan.
What Qin Yan said here is "performance" rather than "acting skills".Because for Xie Beiyang, he does not yet have professional acting skills, but this does not prevent him from being able to play his role "Li Zian" well.
In order to get the best presentation of the whole script, when Qin Yan created "Li Zian", he completely used Xie Beiyang's image and characteristics as a template, which greatly reduced the complexity of the role of "Li Zian".
For example, when Zhu Yufei was in pain, hesitation, apprehension, and fear just now, Li Zian didn't feel the slightest bit of empathy.
In real life, Xie Beiyang is a very careful person, and he is also able to feel and take care of other people's emotions.Usually, if someone is unsatisfactory at work or encounters any difficulties, Xie Beiyang can always find out immediately and offer to help.
Xie Beiyang has a natural sensitivity to human emotions, and he is now using this sensitivity to reproduce the various emotions he has experienced.
Rather than saying that Xie Beiyang is performing, it is better to say that he is imitating.It's just that the object of imitation is the self in a certain situation.
If Xie Beiyang can turn these sensitivities into skills through systematic learning, it can be called acting.
Qin Yan did not force Xie Beiyang to master these skills now, he would tell Xie Beiyang what kind of emotions he should show in each scene.
For example, Qin Yan told Xie Beiyang just now that he only needs to show his sunny and cheerful side in his daily life.
Although there is a certain difference in the core of pure "happy" and "careful", the difference in facial features is not so obvious, at least under the DV camera screen, this difference can be completely ignored.
The author has something to say: there will be an explanation behind the plot of "Ancient House", and I hope everyone can accept it.In my outline, "The Old House" should be the film with the least plot, but that's what the plot needs.
At least when you are watching, you shouldn't be too scared.So I am very afraid of disappointing you. QQ

For the expression of each emotion, there is actually a certain degree of difficulty without professional training.
Everyone in life can express emotions normally, such as emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, and everything happens very naturally and smoothly.
But when a person wants to deliberately express a certain emotion, it becomes very difficult, otherwise there would not be so many fake smiles and fake crying being exposed.
If you don't believe me, you can try crying or laughing in front of the mirror to see if there is any sense of disobedience.
For an expressionist actor, acting is to master and learn the physical response of every emotion, and consciously control one's body to express it when needed.
It stands to reason that for a new actor, letting him enter the role and respond accordingly from the character's personality and experience is the most common way to guide him.But this also did not apply to Xie Beiyang.
This is related to the script of "Ancient House". The characters in "Ancient House" only have personality characteristics, and there is no behavioral development brought about by the plot. Even if you want to bring in the characters, it is almost impossible to make every move according to the characters.
Qin Yan could only find another way and let Xie Beiyang restore a certain specific emotion.
Qin Yanqin only needs to tell Xie Beiyang to act out a reaction in a certain life scene. As long as Xie Beiyang himself has had similar emotions, he can easily reproduce them.
No wonder Xi Qianqian had such a strange expression when asked about Xie Beiyang's study progress.
It takes not just emotional sensitivity, but also a strong memory to do this.Xie Beiyang is indeed a genius.
Now Qin Yan's eyes on Xie Beiyang have changed a little bit. Before, he just thought that Xie Beiyang's face was too plastic, but now it seems that Xie Beiyang is really talented in acting.
Maybe I can train him well in the future, if Xie Beiyang is really interested in movies.Qin Yan thought silently.
In fact, this is also one of the techniques commonly used by actors. For example, when many actors are acting in crying scenes, they will recall their tragic experiences, thus showing painful expressions and crying quickly.
However, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang cooperated more tacitly.Qin Yan can create a more specific situation, for example, Qin Yan would say "It's the first time you climbed the Great Wall and looked at the mountains", instead of simply "happy".
This makes Xie Beiyang's emotional imitation more accurate and fits the requirements of "Ancient House".
Of course, this doesn't mean that Xie Beiyang doesn't have any shortcomings. In fact, he has many common problems of new performers.
For example, I don't have enough grasp of the lens sense, and I don't know what angle can make my facial features more photogenic, and what kind of light is softer.
Another example is paying too much attention to the lens.No matter when, as long as there is a camera, I will be a little nervous, and occasionally I will look at the camera unconsciously.
In the previous scene when Li Zian was talking to Zhu Yufei, Li Zian sneaked away from the DV camera several times.
It is definitely a taboo in normal movie performances. Such an action can make people immediately feel that the character is actually performing, and instantly cut off the connection between the audience and the character.
New actors always subconsciously think about how they will behave in front of the camera, whether they exceed the frame of the camera, whether their expressions and emotions are in place...
But this is also subtly resolved by the shooting mode of "Ancient House".
Although it is said that DV is a kind of daily video camera for home use, in fact, people will subconsciously chase the camera during use.
We can see a lot of DV shooting works, people are talking to the camera.When watching DV video works, the audience will have a feeling that "the people in the picture are staring at the camera all the time".
Because when using dv to record life every day, everyone is talking to the camera, and this is a person's real reaction.If the dv lens is completely ignored, that is the violation.
These low-level mistakes that are absolutely intolerable in film movies will make the audience sigh "Oh, so they are really recording their lives with DV".
As an actor, Xie Beiyang is still young.But in "Ancient House", Qin Yan no longer had to deliberately correct Xie Beiyang, and even turned this disadvantage into an advantage.
Although the first act was completed in one go, it doesn't mean that "Ancient House" should not think that the shooting work is easy.
The biggest difficulty Qin Yan and the others faced was that they were students, and they usually had to attend classes during the day, so they couldn't stay on the set like a professional crew and shoot continuously.
Filmmaking is inherently about emotional investment and coherence.Two days of filming and five days of rest, even Qin Yan couldn't guarantee the continuity of the film.But it happens that their most concentrated and free time is only on weekends.
So Qin Yan asked everyone to come to the courtyard for filming after class every day, as long as there was nothing else to do, and to spend the night in the courtyard, and then go back to class the next day, so that everyone could maintain a working state.
Although Qin Yan was responsible for all the taxi fares, and the courtyard house could meet daily needs, it was still a tormenting thing.
There is no heating in this courtyard house, and no one lives in it for a long time, so they have to burn the kang by themselves.Although Xie Beiyang and Liu Zhengwen are both from the north, they really don't know this skill, so the four boys can only fumble to unlock it.
Washing and eating are also troublesome.The renovation of water pipes in courtyard houses is not satisfactory, and water pipes often freeze.
Xi Qianqian had to sleep alone in a room.Even with such a strong heart as Xi Qianqian, she would still feel so scared that she would lose sleep all night.
But no one complains, because no one treats filmmaking as a game.
Fortunately, the story of "Ancient House" is limited to the courtyard, basically there is no location shooting, and there is no need to travel around, which reduces a lot of workload.
When Qin Yan was making preparations, he had already drawn a storyboard for each scene.Each storyboard has the position of the character, the direction of the light source, and the general background behind it.
Storyboards are very common, but few directors are as detailed as Qin Yan, and each scene is drawn.
First of all, drawing is too energy-intensive. Even if the storyboard is only scribbled, it will take at least ten minutes for each page.This hundred-page storyboard took him dozens of hours.
Secondly, the storyboard is only an ideal situation that cannot be met.Once you start shooting, there will be many unexpected changes.
For example, if you want to take a strong light picture of a clear sky, but due to weather problems, the entire light is insufficient, and you need to modify it immediately.
Fortunately, "Ancient House" can greatly avoid these problems, because most of the scenes take place in courtyards.
During the half month before Qin Yan created the script and the storyboard, he lived alone in the courtyard, from morning to night, with constant wind and rain.He already has a clear understanding of every setting and every reflection of light in the courtyard.
It was this kind of understanding that allowed Qin Yan to complete the storyboard of "Ancient House".
Many people have no way to accept and understand Qin Yan's perfectionism.It's no wonder that the actors and workers who have worked with Qin Yan secretly nicknamed Qin Yan "the killer on the set".
In the past, Qin Yan's detailed storyboards could not be well executed. This is related to the grand scenes of previous movies, and also related to the lack of right-hand assistants.
And "Ancient House" made all this possible because of the existence of Liu Zhengwen.Liu Zhengwen has been standing outside the lens to fill in or block the light, treating the DV camera as a film.
Although Liu Zhengwen is just a student, and he is always duplicity, but in working condition, Liu Zhengwen is a perfectionist who can compete with Qin Yan, and only Liu Zhengwen can quickly Understand Qin Yan's thoughts and needs.
If there is any slight change in the shooting time, Liu Zhengwen can immediately make corresponding adjustments according to the changes in the entire natural light source.
Qin Yan only used to control the emotional changes and performances of Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, and left all the lighting matters to Liu Zhengwen, which greatly relieved Qin Yan's work pressure.
Qin Yan said to Liu Zhengwen at the beginning: "Only you are qualified for this job, and only you can help me", this sentence was not a compliment at all.
Although the benefits of so many dv cameras have been said before, it is definitely not to say that dv is an absolutely perfect camera.If Qin Yan had to choose, he would definitely choose the photo camera.
After all, in terms of picture effects and scalability, the performance of DV cameras is really poor.
Sometimes Qin Yan looks at the slightly blurred pictures taken by the DV camera and wants to re-shoot, which is really inconsistent with his usual aesthetic standards.
With no way to change the camera equipment, Qin Yan could only make up for the picture through other means.
If you can’t adjust the sharpness, change the focal length, or even change the depth of field, then there are only two things that can make a decisive contribution to the picture, one is the space composition of the picture, and the other is the use of light.
Don't look at Liu Zhengwen just holding the light shield there, in fact, more work has been done silently where no one sees.
Ren Yue, on the other hand, was holding the radio equipment, and had been listening to Li Zian and Zhu Yufei.
Although the DV camera also has a built-in radio function, the final effect will be somewhat blurred, which cannot meet Qin Yan's requirements.
Ren Yue is doing physical work now, and his brain has not stopped at all.
He threw himself into the mood of the whole story, thinking about when to insert what sound effects.Although his work is done after the shooting, if he wants to be perfect, he must capture all the inspirations in the whole shooting process.
Although this six-member team has only been established recently, it has already demonstrated super high efficiency at this time.
The completion of any film, other than high-profile actors, more work is simply unknown.
Making movies has never been a great career for one person.
026 challenge
At this time, the sky in the east is faint, and the sky in late autumn is particularly bright, and there is an urge to open your eyes and fix your canthus.Standing in the courtyard, Qin Yan wanted to take pictures of this autumn scene. He knew that the sky in Pingcheng would become darker and darker in the future, with light pollution and smog filling the sky.
It's a pity that all his camera equipment is at home, Qin Yan had an idea.He picked up the DV camera and no longer considered various shooting performances. Even if it was blurry, he wanted to keep this piece of Tianankong. Perhaps this is the charm of photography.
"Sister Qianqian, are they all gone?"
Qin Yan turned his head and looked at the source of the sound, and the dv camera moved accordingly.A teenager appeared in the picture, wearing a lake blue turtleneck sweater, waving at him.
In 2000, the Koryo TV series "Blue Life and Death" was introduced to Huaguo, triggering a wave of obsessions ranging from eight years old to 80 years old, and also had a great impact on Huaguo entertainment.
The most intuitive impact is that countless Goryeo-style dresses have appeared in China, such as the matching of turtleneck sweaters and trench coats.It's a pity that many people have an inexplicable greasy feeling when they wear it.But at this time, wearing it on Xie Beiyang's body is extraordinarily refreshing, a young man in fresh clothes and an angry horse.
Even if it's just a DV camera, Xie Beiyang is still so eye-catching, Qin Yan couldn't help sighing: It really is a child favored by the camera.
Qin Yan put away the dv, then nodded to Xie Beiyang and said, "I gave them a day off and let them play by themselves."
Xie Beiyang was ashamed: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me."
Because of the excellent performance of the four people, the shooting progress of "Ancient House" was faster than Qin Yan expected.
Now that the plot has progressed to Li Yufei and Li Zian, through the footage captured by the DV camera, it was discovered that after the two of them fell asleep at night, it seemed that someone was indeed moving around in the room, scattering their things all over the place.
This discovery scared the two of them badly, and they decided to leave the courtyard early the next morning, never wanting to set foot in this place again.
But who knew that the two of them completely forgot what happened last night during the day, and then went out to play happily, and didn't come back until evening.
After Li Zian and Li Yufei came back at night, because they recorded a lot of scenic spots in Pingcheng today, they took out the dv camera again, wanting to review the pictures of their play today.
Only then did the two see everything captured by the DV camera last night.
Until this moment, the two felt real fear.They found that they would encounter some unknown phenomena in the courtyard every night, but when they got up early in the morning, they would forget all the experiences at night.
The two could only start a self-help operation.
What follows is the scariest part of the entire film, Li Zian and Li Yufei's exploration of the entire courtyard.
The mood of the two has changed significantly.Li Yufei only showed her introverted fear, and then gradually became firm, while Li Zian completely changed from a sunny and fearless boy to a coward dominated by fear.
"Fear" is not very difficult for Xi Qianqian, because she has systematically learned how to show fear, and she is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and now she is completely digging herself.
But Xie Beiyang, who had been playing well before, encountered a dilemma at this time, because he couldn't show the emotion of terror.
Xie Beiyang mentioned before has not received systematic study. His acting method is actually to reawaken a certain emotion he once experienced for shooting.
The whole performance process is actually a kind of replay and invocation of Xie Beiyang's own life experience.
But the problem is that in Xie Beiyang's memory, there is no particularly terrifying experience.He seems to have been born braver since he was a child, and his understanding of the world is far more mature than his peers.Not afraid of ghosts, not afraid of loneliness, not afraid of poverty...
The usual advantages, but at this moment limit Xie Beiyang's performance.
In recent scenes, Xie Beiyang has been particularly stiff in front of the camera.Although it can be seen that Xie Beiyang has already tried his best to imitate the expressions of some well-known actors about the horror emotions.
Xie Beiyang is indeed making progress, but the speed of progress is far behind the progress of filming.
In the past few days, the shooting progress of "Ancient House" has basically stopped, and Xie Beiyang in real life has also fallen into a mood of anxiety and self-blame.
Of course, Xie Beiyang's anxiety was also related to Qin Yan.Don't look at the close communication between Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang, but during the filming process, if Xie Beiyang did anything wrong, Qin Yan would point it out mercilessly.
He was not targeting Xie Beiyang, including Xi Qianqian's performance and the work of Liu Zhengwen and Ren Yue, Qin Yan was the same.
Qin Yan didn't even need a director's tube, so he just mercilessly trained people on the spot.Xie Beiyang, who was making a movie for the first time, had never seen this kind of posture before, and he didn't dare to face Qin Yan squarely for a few days.
Perfectionists who are too critical can be annoying at times.
Qin Yan was not really angry with Xie Beiyang, and he also knew that it was actually his responsibility.
It was he who asked Xie Beiyang, an amateur with no acting experience, to participate in his film project, and Xie Beiyang also helped "The Ancient House" in many places.
Now because of his strict requirements, Xie Beiyang fell into a nervous mood, and Qin Yan blamed himself very much for this.
It's just that the personality that has been cultivated for decades, and the one-sided personality on the set cannot be changed in a short time.
Fortunately, this is not the first time that Qin Yan has experienced anxiety caused by an actor not being able to meet his requirements. Normally, he would let the actor grow and digest by himself, but Xie Beiyang is special to Qin Yan after all.
So after yesterday's filming was completed, Qin Yan announced a one-day holiday and asked Xi Qianqian and the others to adjust themselves. Then Qin Yan said to Xie Beiyang:
"Xiao Bei, I have a way to help you get into the state as soon as possible, but my method may be a little violent, can you accept it?"
Xie Beiyang did not hesitate: "I can accept whatever you have."
Qin Yan did not directly tell Xie Beiyang his plan, but first explained to him:
"You can't master the method of expressionism through systematic study in a short period of time. All I can do now is to let you understand the "horror" emotion as soon as possible. Come with me tomorrow."
Therefore, today will be a day when Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan are alone.
Qin Yan had already contacted the driver, and Xie Beiyang didn't know the final destination until he got off the car.
Xie Beiyang didn't ask any questions, but Qin Yan couldn't hold back anymore, and joked: "You don't ask me where I want to take you, so you are not afraid that I will kidnap you?"
Xie Beiyang shook his head: "I know the way."
The two looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and the dark clouds of the previous two days dissipated in an instant.
It's a pity that happiness is short-lived after all. After seeing the destination, Xie Beiyang was stunned. He didn't expect that Qin Yan would bring him to such a place, and even his footsteps were a little vain.
Seeing Xie Beiyang's performance, Qin Yan knew it was really effective. He was afraid that Xie Beiyang would run away, so he took Xie Beiyang's hand and walked forward: "Let's go, don't hesitate. I can definitely make you feel the emotion of fear." .”
Xie Beiyang already felt fear when he saw the words "Shidu bungee jumping", but it was far from meeting Qin Yan's requirements. At least now Xie Beiyang can still maintain a normal expression. He pulled Xie Beiyang forward go.
Bungee jumping is the special training that Qin Yan prepared for Xie Beiyang today.
Human beings have longed for the sky since birth, but the fear of the sky also exists in the genes of human beings.
Many people are very brave in their daily lives. Once they look down from a high place, their bodies will tremble involuntarily.
In fact, this is an instinct preserved by human beings through natural selection during the long evolution.For example, on the glass plank road, even if the reason tells oneself that there is no danger, it still cannot control the limp and stiffness of the body.
Another example is the current Xie Beiyang. Although his reason tells him that bungee jumping is actually a very safe sport, his legs are as tight as tree stumps.
Before going out, Qin Yan confirmed with Xie Beiyang that all actions today are under his own arrangement, so Qin Yan dragged Xie Beiyang to buy the tickets without hesitation, and walked all the way to the bungee jumping platform.
Shidu Bungee Jumping is the earliest bungee jumping place in Huaguo. It has only been open for three years now, and bungee jumping is far less popular than later generations.There are very few tourists even on weekends, but even the sporadic tourists can make screams resounding from the top of the mountain.
Crying like complaining, ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Xie Beiyang finally adjusted his psychological construction, and was completely penetrated by the screams like a tsunami in an instant.The whole face was dyed blue and white.
Qin Yan's expression didn't change at all. There were many people who cried miserably in front of him before, and Qin Yan never made an exception for anyone.
While putting on safety equipment for Xie Beiyang, the staff persuaded him, "Relax, don't be nervous." Now Xie Beiyang's body is quite stiff, like a puppet.
Qin Yan held Xie Beiyang's hand and said: "You also know your problem, that is, you don't know much about the emotion of fear. I brought you to bungee jumping because I hope you can perceive the process of fear and your body. Reaction."
Qin Yan's voice was very gentle, instead of comforting, he asked Xie Beiyang to remember the fear at this moment.
He had great trust in Xie Beiyang's comprehension and memory, otherwise Xie Beiyang would not have been admitted to Pingcheng University.
It's asking, not trying.
"Try to remember your current state as much as possible, and don't forget what the purpose of our coming today is. If you can't remember your current emotions, then next time I will take you to a more terrifying place."
Xie Beiyang gritted his teeth and nodded. He forced himself to calm down and remember the reactions of his five sense organs and body.
Qin Yan felt that his hand was tightly grasped by Xie Beiyang, and he felt a little chilly. Qin Yan lowered his head and took a look.Xie Beiyang's hand, which had distinct finger bones, was a little pale at this moment, showing a sense of morbid fragility.
Xie Beiyang sighed in his heart, there is no way, fear is an emotion that no one is willing to face, but it is the fastest and most effective way for Xie Beiyang to master the performance of "fear" in a short time way out.
027 bungee jumping
No one can understand Xie Beiyang's fear.
People always say if there is something to be afraid of, face it and get over it.For sports like bungee jumping, if you are really scared, just close your eyes and jump and you're done.
But in fact, fear is a human instinct, and it cannot be overcome simply by relying on reason.
Even for people who are extremely afraid of heights, their bodies will experience stress reactions at heights. In history, there have been many cases of cardiac arrest due to bungee jumping.
Although Xie Beiyang is not the kind of extreme fear of heights, he has never experienced extreme sports, and he keeps swallowing his saliva and his breathing becomes short of breath.
If it were someone else who encouraged Xie Beiyang from the sidelines, saying "Come on, don't be afraid!", "Just close your eyes and jump and it's over" encouragement, Xie Beiyang might have done the bungee jumping in one go.
Even the staff on the side were saying: "You two guys, can you hurry up? You see that other girls dare to dance, but you dare not. You are men, you must be brave."
Qin Yan directly interrupted the staff's encouragement: "If you have anything to do, go and do it first. We'll find you after we adjust our mood."
The staff didn't understand, so they glanced at Qin Yan and thought that this person is really strange.It took so long to skip a level, don't you know that the longer the time, the more tormented it will be?
What he didn't know was that Qin Yan needed to prolong the whole experience of fear as much as possible.Only in this way can Xie Beiyang deeply remember the emotion of fear in his mind.
What is the ultimate fear, that is, standing in front of fear, unable to move, unable to resist, powerless, and can only watch the fear approaching oneself step by step.
Xie Beiyang standing on the platform was staring at instinctive fear, and the screaming and crying of other tourists continued to add to the atmosphere.
Although such an approach was cruel, Qin Yan still stood aside and watched.
Even Xie Beiyang mustered up his courage several times, and when he was about to go directly to the platform, he was stopped by Qin Yan, asking him to continue to remember his current emotions.
Today is Sunday, although bungee jumping has just appeared in China, not many people know about it.But after all, Pingcheng is the largest city in China, and many people still come to experience bungee jumping.
When they jumped down, the screams they released were enough to penetrate everything, horrific, and resounded through the valley.
Xie Beiyang finally calmed down, but was completely disturbed by these screams.
Human emotions are really contagious, at least the emotion of fear is.
Just when Xie Beiyang was trying to fight against his inner fear and remember it, Qin Yan was still explaining his understanding of human emotions:
"Look at the couple who went bungee jumping just now. The boy wasn't that scared at first, but because the girl started screaming, her emotions were instantly affected, and then he himself became scared."
"Remember this, maybe you weren't that afraid of the weirdness in the courtyard, but because of Li Yufei's existence, your emotions will collapse in an instant."
"And you are looking at another boy next to him. He looks mighty, right, but he barks louder than anyone else. Fear has nothing to do with gender or age."
"By the way, you should also pay attention to the expressions of these people. Although they have different expressions and reactions, they are actually in extreme fear. Look at the changes in their facial features."
"If you're going to be a professional actor, you have to learn to observe life."
Xie Beiyang is very smart, with the characteristics of Qin Yan telling him the terrifying emotions, he quickly internalized the emotions into memories and stored them in his mind.
He began to try to control his facial features, no longer forcibly hiding his fear, but showing it to make others feel the same.
Qin Yan has been observing the changes on Xie Beiyang's face, and sighed in his heart when he saw this scene: Sure enough, some people should be born to eat this bowl of rice.
Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang had stood in front of the bungee jumping hall for too long, the staff couldn't bear it anymore and walked up to them and said:
"Do you still want to bungee jump? It's not a solution for you to stand here all the time. Why should a big man be afraid of such a thing? Jump quickly."
Xie Beiyang took a deep breath, he felt that he had sorted out his emotions.Since you are here today, you should still experience the fear of falling.
Just when Xie Beiyang took a step forward, Qin Yan suddenly grabbed Xie Beiyang's hand and said:
"No need to jump."
Xie Beiyang looked at Qin Yan with some doubts.
Qin Yan was very calm. He said directly: "I brought you here today just to let you feel the emotion of fear. I don't necessarily want you to overcome it."
"There is a reason for fear. People don't have to force to overcome fear. Respecting and understanding fear is also a way to get along with each other."
Although Qin Yan had been urging Xie Beiyang just now, and told him that no matter what, he must bungee jump today, so that he had completed today's special training.But in fact Qin Yan never thought of forcing Xie Beiyang to jump from the very beginning.
Without affecting the filming, Qin Yan is willing to respect Xie Beiyang's own feelings.
But Xie Beiyang suddenly fell silent in his heart, without saying a word.
Anyway, today's goal has been achieved, and the rest will be private time, Qin Yan is not going to wonder what Xie Beiyang is thinking.
He said to the staff on the side: "Please check the equipment for me again."
In his previous life, Qin Yan was obsessed with extreme sports, including skydiving, surfing, racing and so on.
In fact, people's senses are often trained, and they live in a good environment for a long time without worrying about food and clothing.Only more exciting exercise can make the body secrete exciting adrenaline.
For Qin Yan, bungee jumping is really just an entry-level sport.
He originally thought that he would no longer have any sense of fear when he played bungee jumping.But when he stood in front of the take-off platform and stared at the valley hundreds of meters below, his body trembled slightly.
At this time, what Qin Yan was thinking in his heart was:
Human emotions are indeed related to body memory.My current body has never played extreme sports before, and a little stimulation makes my body shake like this.
I don’t know if there are related psychological research papers, probably related to stress and habit. If there are, can they be used in future filming?
Thinking about these academic problems, Qin Yan's body gradually calmed down.He took a leap and began to enjoy the vertigo caused by the rapid weightlessness.
Today is Qin Yan's special training class for Xie Beiyang, but he also did not relax his request, and there will be a few more pages of material in his notebook when he goes back tonight.
When Qin Yan finished bungee jumping and returned to the high platform, he was still thinking about these questions.
Who knew that Xie Beiyang walked up to him at this time and said, "If you brought Sister Qianqian to experience fear today, would you ask her to jump off?"
From the perspective of others, Xie Beiyang's question is actually quite random, why did he suddenly mention Xi Qianqian.But Qin Yan secretly praised Xie Beiyang in his heart, saying "he is really sensitive to people's emotions".
Because Xie Beiyang had seen Xi Qianqian being scolded by Qin Yan until he said nothing, and Qin Yan seemed to be extra tolerant towards him.
Since Xie Beiyang asked this question on his own initiative, Qin Yan would not lie, he said, "Qianqian is an actor."
The same nonsensical answer, but Xie Beiyang immediately understood Qin Yan's implication——
"Xi Qianqian takes acting as her goal and career, so my requirements for her will be stricter."
Although Qin Yan had a very high opinion of Xie Beiyang, after all, he was only an amateur with acting talent, and it was hard to say whether he would really embark on the road of acting in the future.
Qin Yan does respect everyone's fear, which is the freedom of a human being.But "being an actor" is also an option.
If you choose to make a living from acting, you must bear the corresponding price, playing roles you don't like, accepting public criticism, and hard professional training.
